I'm writing a blogpost series on how I translated the NDS game Sangokushi Taisen Ten.

Part 1 is the non-technical one about why this project.

Parts 2+ will be a mix of technical dive and development diary.

Follow the thread for new entries as I release them!

Part 2 - Unpacking. Where I crack the game open, opensource some tools and get struck by a heisenbug.

15 years I've been waiting for this. I finally found someone who knew how to romhack my favorite NDS game and was willing to make a toolset for it.

And I can work on the translation this xmas! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
